Abstract (en)
Apparatus having a multi-way cache (18), the apparatus including a first user controllable element (102, 104, or 106) having a predetermined first attribute corresponding to a first way of the multi-way cache; a second user controllable element (102, 104, or 106) having a predetermined second attribute corresponding to a second way of the multi-way cache; a conductor (87) for transferring an access attribute to the multi-way cache; first compare circuitry (60) which compares the access attribute to the predetermined first attribute to provide a first comparison result; second compare circuitry (60) which compares the access attribute to the predetermined second attribute to provide a second comparison result; first way control circuitry (92) for selectively enabling the first way of the multi-way cache based on the first comparison result; and second way control circuitry (92) for selectively enabling the second way of the multi-way cache based on the second comparison result. <IMAGE>
